DMCA Policy

1. Safe Harbor Statement

GoneProof respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512. As an online service provider, we are entitled to the safe harbor protections of § 512 when we receive properly formatted takedown notices and respond to them in a timely manner.

While GoneProof's primary business is issuing DMCA takedowns on behalf of creators, we also act as a service provider and will respond to valid notices directed at any user-generated or hosted material associated with our platform.

2. Filing a Takedown Notice

To file a DMCA takedown notice with GoneProof, send a written communication that includes the following (pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and its location;
• Your contact information, including address and email;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

3. Counter-Notices

If you believe that material was removed or disabled in error or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice with GoneProof. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice that meets the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the complainant notifies us that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement.

GoneProof does not independently adjudicate copyright disputes; we act as a neutral intermediary in accordance with the DMCA process.

4. Designated Copyright Agent

Our designated agent for receipt of DMCA notices is:

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), GoneProof maintains and implements a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may limit access to the Service and terminate accounts of users who have been the subject of multiple valid DMCA takedown notices.
